For my blog I wanted to find some apps that would be an asset to the business.  While I found many great apps for business and personal use, I want to just mention a couple that really caught my attention.

In life and business, we come across many different business cards for different people and businesses.  While some may be OCD compulsive enough to be able to keep up with them all & have it near when you need them, most people are typically not that organized.  It usually goes something like this… “Here’s my card, call me if you ever need anything!” Card goes into your pocket, purse, or wallet and sits there.  If you’re somewhat organized you might get around to adding it to your contacts, or maybe add it to the rest of the cards.

Well now there’s a great new app that lightens the paper trail of business cards and keeps them all in one organized location.  It’s called Cam Card, the business card app loved by 100 million customers.  With Cam Card, you can easily scan, manage, sync, and exchange business cards. Just scan any paper cards you get using the app & your devices camera, this app can accurately read 16 languages, exchange e-cards quickly between users, manage your contacts by adding notes, setting reminders, quickly search, tag, and share.  Get notified when your contacts info changes companies or promotes to new positions. Access anywhere on any device, sync between devices to keep a full list always available.  You can also create a personal profile to make yourself better known to your colleagues or follow your contacts companies to get the latest news.  I can’t wait to download this app and empty my bag of business cards!  You can find more about it here   https://www.camcard.com

Another great app I found for business use is called Word Lens/Google Translate.  For anyone who travels abroad or comes up against foreign language text. This app can change the language in real time without the use of the internet.  Quickly change from English to Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Russian and any language back to English. You can watch the video showing how it works here https://youtu.be/h2OfQdYrHRs

For personal use I recommend checking out these other great life apps:

Carrot – A to-do list app that makes getting things done a game.

Everest – An app to help achieve life goals

Money Tracker – An app to keep track of all incoming and outgoing expenses.

Versus – An app that allows you to easily compare items you’re considering for purchase.
